Thanks for the link. It seems they got it somehow working on DSM6, but if I check the thread, it’s a lot of ducttape and locktight involved especially to run with DSM7. Might try it out on a rainy sunday

Give me a package that runs on my ds214play and I’ll switch in a heartbeat

I’m running an airsonic-advanced server and use the tempo app on android https://github.com/CappielloAntonio/tempo

And supersonic on linux & windows: https://github.com/dweymouth/supersonic?tab=readme-ov-file

The point for me is, that I have an acient synology NAS (ds214play) which acts as my media server. There is a community made plex package which I can install easily. As far as I have seen, there is no way to install jellyfin on this NAS, as it doesn’t support docker

The big issue is that they don’t just “do not ask”, they also actively ignore if it if someone tells “no” upfront. E.g. in a robots.txt

If your business modell only works if you don’t follow any moral or official laws…it shouldn’t exist!

Unfortunately, capitalism doesn’t work like that…

I have a rpi4 awith an external hdd at my parents house, which I connect via a wireguard vpn, mount and decrypt the external hdd and then it triggers a restic backup to a restic-rest server as append only.

The whole thing is done via a python script

I chose the rest-server because it allows “append only”, so the data can’t be deleted easily from my side of the vpn.

But, but the corporations are telling us that they loose so much money from all those people who are pirating and therefore not ‘buying’ their stuff.

I mean the numbers they showed where huge! Hmm, maybe they forgot to carry the one or swapped some +/- diring their calculations.

I still love the trackpoint and use it almost exclusively if the notebook is not connected on the docking station.

It is just awesome if you can control the mouse while still keeping the hands on the middle of the keyboard.
It’s so much faster than to kove up and down and also more ergonomic, especially in the train when the laptop sits on my lap.
The middle button enables easy scrolling on webpages (although the vim browser extention makes it even easier ther) or documents…

Nothing else I used was able to beat this setup. And I used a lot of different devices over the tome

Interesting, for me the apps required to have a valid tls cert.

Yes the fines are not high enough. IMHO there should be two payments: a return of all earnings which are related to the violation PLUS a hefty fine and/or jail for the executives

That’s the only way it isn’t cost efficient for the big companies to ignore the laws. Also, make sure the fines are actually paid in full and in a reasonable amount of time

I really like the idea, Im currently struggling with the implementation. There are so many issues to cover:

• who enforces the law? It needs to be worldwide (at least for some products)
• how are mergers handled?
• what to do if the company goes bancrupt or is closed otherwises? Who will outsource the code where? And who will be accountable
• does that also count for private people? (e.g.: if I take a picture, I own the copyright for it, do I lose my copyright if I don’t sell the picture? Or does it only count if I sold it once? What if I sold it exclusively to someone?)
• probably more

There are so many loopholes which corps will use to get out of it :-(

Probably something to do with the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) based on that you can calculate how long your stuff lasts and how you should schedule repairs, or in that case, how long you can provide warranty. I’d be intetested in the numbers for the jump from 8 -> 15, too

Just a heads up about switzerland:

• downloading movies and music is not illegal, but
• uploading is
• also download and upload of copyrighted software is illegal

Since most budgeting tools I found didn’t satisfy my need (no cloud, automatic categorization of transactions etc.) I tried to create my own tool to categorize my transactions using camt.053 and csv files which I downloaded from my banks. Got bugged down with the presentation via bokeh, so it was pretty crude.

I recently found beancount in combination with fava, which solved most of my problems I had with my own tool. And the good thing: I was able to re-use most of my ‘auto-categorization’ code with only small changes. Not sure how universal my importer is, but with a bit of python know-how it should be quite easy to create an importer for your specific bank export.

From my experience, the csvs I got from my bank was insufficient for automatic mapping, which is why I’m using camt.053 where possible. As the camt.053 is not very common in many countries you could go for OFX files.

PlantUML-Server: Github / Docker Hub I do use some plantuml graphics in my Obsidian notes to document my network setup. And it’s really nice to have a self hosted renderer where all my devices can access it.

UnifiBrowser Github / Docker Docker Image to access the Unifi API, helped a lot to debug the integration of Unifi data into other tools (e.g. Munin)

Wanderer Github - Platform to save and upload gps tracks. I do misuse it as a platform for my motorbike tour ‘library’ for easy choice which tour I want to do

The app is intentional, with browsers they can’t control which extensions you run, and therefore can’t force their ads on you. With the app they can control the environment and you are legally not allowed to modify their app because trademark…

Or greenshot, is also quite versatile

Looks really nice definitely gonna take a look at it.

And, did I read that correctly: the pro licence is a onetime payment and you keep the all the current features even after the licence expires?

For me it depends how “hardened” the account needs to be.

For key accounts I keep the 2fa seperated (where possible with a fido token) For not so relevant accounts I add it to bitwarden. Because I probably wouldnt activate 2fa for these accounts if I’d have to pull out the phone each time

Edit: you also can add the 2fa token to a separate vault
